Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren says his team is ready to capitalise on Morocco’s weaknesses ahead of their crucial semifinal clash at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Ghana, making their first semifinal appearance in nine years, will face tournament hosts Morocco today, July 21, at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. Kick-off is set for 19:00 GMT.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Bjorkegren recalled his debut match in charge of the Black Queens — coincidentally against Morocco — and expressed confidence in his team’s preparedness.
“I know the team pretty well. My first game for Ghana as head coach was against Morocco,” he said.
“It was a tight game. We had our chances to win the game. In the end, we lost… but we also saw that we had the chances to win that type of game.
“Like all of the teams, they have some weaknesses as well, so we just need to push hard there,” Bjorkegren added.
The Black Queens will be hoping to ride on their momentum and book a spot in the final as they continue their quest for a maiden WAFCON title.
